** Special Report on Medication Treatment **

I wrote this report to provide parents, professionals, and educators with research based information on maxmimizing the benefits of stimulant medication treatment for ADHD. This report is not advocating medication as a treatment for any individual - such decisions are best made by parents in consultation with their child's healthcare provider.
